Music is a powerhouse of emotions. It speaks to you. It heals you. It makes you feel alive and #BeALittleMore in touch with our soul. Yeh gaana dil ko chhu gaya or yeh tune mere dimag mein atak gaya hai – whether you’re the one to think with your heart or with your brain, music is for all. The confluence of tune and lyrics, it can emote a myriad of emotions – love, hatred, sadness, anger, hopelessness – any emotion that is felt and recognised by the human race.
